After dinner, investigators said, the five children were running around in the house, playing, and that Byers and the friend were sitting on the couch talking about a school project.

Police believe the toddler found the gun in Byers’ purse, which she kept there for protection. According to investigators, the boy told officers he does have a green toy gun, so he may have thought Byers’ gun was also a toy.
